If they can raise their LSAT range to 170-176 (which I am absolutely confident they can do if they were as #s focused as Columbia or Harvard), I could see them overtaking Harvard.

+1. The distinct difference in their current LSAT ranges is surely enough to keep them at #3 unless they make an effort to raise it, which is unlikely unless they change their admissions philosophy.

The reason Stanford stays ahead of schools like Columbia with higher LSAT ranges is that its peer ratings are consistently spectacular. Those are enough to keep it in the Top 3 regardless of what they do with the LSAT range.

Agreed. I really hope they don't just focus on numbers for the sake of ratings. They'd compromise the quality of the their small entering class to a certain extent. I like the SLS mix as is! They're ahead because they're good... not because they only take people with 99th percentile and above.

The pre-2010 batch will be VERY small, if previous years are any indication. Most decisions won't come out until January or later.

Luckily crackberry and I are Stanford auto-admits. It was hard work overthrowing Sudanese dictators, sweeping the countryside for dangerous landmines, practicing for the LSAT by diagramming logic games with sticks in the desert sand, and running a refugee camp that at capacity held thirty-two thousand; but together we were able to do it.

Key points:- Wednesday, Dec 17th, was the first acceptance- Area code "650"- International applicants received emails, not phone calls. - Very small wave (only 4 in that thread); took almost a month for the second wave to come
